I’ve been thinking about this topic for a while - what I would do if a LEO shot one of my dogs.
BK: my dogs are my best friends. I’ve had a lot of loss in my life (everyone I love or care about has died and my birth year only starts with a seven) so I’m pretty attached to them. I’ve also had a K9 in my life pretty much uninterrupted since I was in 4th grade - so yea, I’m biased.
ITE: I think it might very well break me, I may have to take it upon myself to enact revenge.
Somewhat related: someone once asked me what I thought it would take for LEO’s to stop abusing those they arrest. I totes don’t agree with the recent turn of events, but I do think it will take civilian intervention. By that I mean, any time a LEO steps out of line (slamming children to curb, shooting the defenseless, beating an already detained individual) citizens need to step in then - consequences be darned- to stop the LEO’s from abusing another citizen. If all people did that every time a LEO crossed the line, I think we would have change.
